Are Snow Tires a Must in Winter?
1 Answers
Snow tires are not mandatory in winter, and car owners can make their own choices, but switching to snow tires can provide additional safety. Advantages of snow tires: 1. Snow tires are specifically designed for winter conditions and serve as an alternative to tire chains; 2. The rubber compound used in snow tires is typically different from that of all-season tires; 3. They offer improved traction at low temperatures; 4. They reduce the risk of skidding on wet surfaces. Snow tires are designed for vehicles that need to drive on icy or compacted snow-covered roads, catering to users living in extremely cold winter regions where roads are partially or entirely frozen for extended periods, such as Sweden, Finland, Norway, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia.
